Brokeidiot, I’m sure your “holier-than-thou” attitude isn’t helping these people. While technically you are correct, you also know full well that the government closing an eye to this practice is long-established in HK in view of the limited real estate available, so much so that even the company has been understanding and has allowed it.
The issue here is not the legality or lack thereof, it’s simply typical HKG greed and lack of transparency which is personally hurting some of our colleagues.
